iOS 18 Speculation Thread

I installed the RC and turned on apple intelligence but still have the old Siri UI lol.

Edit: it says it is still downloading, missed that when I posted.

Going to be a long couple of weeks as new people encounter Apple Intelligence. As a public service:

• No, the new Siri features are not here yet.
• No, there’s no image generation features available yet.
• No, the mail sorting thing is not available yet.
• No ChatGPT integration is not available yet.
• Yes, the writing tools are useful but not very flashy.

After updating to the RC of 18.1, I was prompted about letting apple intelligence group my notifications and I picked the none option. I’d like to revisit that feature now and perhaps let apple intelligence group my notifications, where can I configure what type of notifications I’d like to let apple intelligence handle?

Settings - Notifications - Summarize Previews

Then select all the apps you want the feature on for.

Thanks. Do you have that specific feature enabled? I’m not sure how useful it actually is

I’ve enjoyed it. It can be helpful for catching up on long group chats. It at least helps with having some context throughout the day when I can’t dive into the conversation.

Occasionally it has even provided some good laughs with either its bluntness or misinterpretation.

The fact that installing an RC still includes the Feedback app always makes me think that it’s still operating on some sort of beta level, so my OCD usually forces me to wait for the official public release.

The beta toggle in setting governs if the feedback app appears in any officially released build. Turn it on, it appears, turn it off and it disappears. RC doesn’t have any of the beta telemetry.

So is there actually zero differences whatsoever between RCs and public releases? I thought I read somewhere that betas run in debug mode or something which can impact battery and performance. Any truth to that?
Click to expand...
RC same as release and yes betas have logging, RC do not.
gwhizkids said:
To elaborate: theoretically every released build should be of equal quality regardless of whether it’s an “a” or “z” build. Each was sufficiently good to pass the quality control tests.

In practice, however, a beta that took 26 tries to get there probably does have some underlying issues. But that’s why the number of builds decreases as we move through the betas: it takes fewer tries to get each beta to release-ready status.

This!
gwhizkids said:
My understanding is that an RC is identical to a public release in all respects. That’s borne out by the fact that if you are on an RC, more times than not you will stay on that even after the public release precisely because they are identical. Logging and other diagnostics present in the “true” betas are turned off.

And this :)

Its always there. In beta profile section turn back to "off" and the app icon goes away.

So I installed 18.1 RC to finally try out apple intelligence yet what I was greeted with was a setting toggle to join a waitlist within the Siri and apple intelligence submenu in the settings app. I thought iOS 18.1 came with apple intelligence built in and ready to use?
Click to expand...
On 16 it just came on as preparing (no waitlist) and stated needed to be on wifi to download and complete. As soon as on wifi it was on after a minute or two.

No. That just turns on the logs for AI so you can see what you used for AI and in the future, what was processed on-device, Apple Private Cloud Compute and ChatGPT once those get enabled.

Small correction: Apple Intelligence has been able to tap into Private Cloud Compute since July or August, on earlier betas for 18.1/15.1.

Anyone get the new firmware for AirPod pro 2?

Apple will release its new iOS 18.1 hearing health features as part of firmware version 7B19 for AirPods Pro 2. So that’s the build number to look out for.
Click to expand...
those features worked for me in the 18.1 RC with AirPods Pro 2 on 7B13d
 
What could be the reason that when I updated both my phone and MacBook to 18.1 RC, I can enable Apple Intelligence on my MacBook by switching the system language and Siri's language to US English? However, my iPhone says that Apple Intelligence is currently not available in your country or region even though I changed Siri and System language to US English. I am in the EU

Your Apple account needs to be US as well

Yes, this is what I thought, but why is Apple Intelligence working on my MacBook and not on iPhone? I’m using the same EU Apple Account on both devices.

There are different regulations for the smartphones and the laptops in the EU.
Some AI features will be available in the EU on the MacBook.

Apple Intelligence may come to EU after all…but only for Mac - 9to5Mac

Apple Intelligence is one of the biggest tentpoles of this fall’s new OS updates. The AI features in iOS 18.1,...
